Sorry to be a pain but I'm also a tad confused about all utilities costs, they seem to be really low compared to what I've read in other posts. What could we expect to pay living in a 2 bed villa for water, electric and gas per month and is the housing fee per month or just a yearly payment.

Thanks again

I didn't write that site or spreedsheet and it is from 2006. Homes here don't have mains gas so I presume the figure quoted is for a bottle and I believe a medium cylinder is now priced at around Dhs 100.

The DEWA bill for a 2 bed apartment with central AC should be between 250 & 400 per month. Probably another 200/300 a month for a villa, not factoring in the cost of watering a garden.
